Koala Tree Care

Koala Tree Care has been providing tree services for residential and commercial clients in Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, and Northern Monterey Counties since 1982. In addition to planting new trees, pruning and fertilizing existing trees, and removing hazardous trees and stumps, the company offers low-impact, selective harvesting services that are designed to help protect properties during wildfire conditions.

Owner Craig Erickson says much of Koala Tree Care’s success can be attributed to its customer-oriented business practices. “Tree work is something that most people can’t do themselves, so we find a lot of purpose in helping our clients maintain and improve their landscapes. Before we leave a jobsite, we confirm that the contract is complete and the customer is completely satisfied with our work.”

Koala Tree Care takes the time to educate its customers about their trees so they know how to avoid potential issues in the future. “Trees increase property value, clean the air, help stabilize the soil and have other benefits that many people aren’t even aware of,” says Mr. Erickson. “We want our clients to understand that there’s more to their trees than they might think, so it’s important to keep them healthy and vibrant.”
